"City fought off competition from Liverpool and Manchester United to secure his signature. It's going to be a challenge to get into the title race but I'm ready and I'm ready to be part of this journey, said Semenyo, who has a five-and-a-half year deal. It's only just sinking in now, to be honest. I've had to work very hard to get to this point and I'm over the moon it's done."
"I've had to be a strong character, Semenyo said. Emotionally and mentally, I've had to get really strong. I have my family, friends and fiancee around me, keeping me uplifted and always pushing me. I've had to push myself quite a bit to get through a lot of hard times. It's made me the man I am today: strong, fearless and ready to attack the world."
Antoine Semenyo joined Manchester City in a £62.5m transfer from Bournemouth, with possible add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause for Bournemouth. He signs a five-and-a-half year contract and could debut against Exeter in the FA Cup. City are six points behind leaders Arsenal with 17 matches remaining. City beat Liverpool and Manchester United to secure the signing. Semenyo scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 20 Premier League games this season and is noted as a long-throw specialist. He progressed through loans at Bath and Newport before flourishing at Bristol City and Bournemouth. Semenyo emphasizes personal resilience and family support. Pep Guardiola remains City manager with a record of 18 major trophies.
